This past spring, Evelyn took swimming lessons. It was a parent-assist class, where Troy was in the water with her. As of the end of May, Evelyn would only put her face in the water for a moment. She wouldn't even consider swimming without Troy holding onto to her. About a week ago, Evelyn tried swimming under water, like some of her friends at the pool do. Now Evelyn can push off the wall for a glide, and she even gets a few strokes and kicks in before coming up for a breath. The gains she has made at the pool this summer are huge!With Labor Day just around the corner, Evelyn's days at the community pool are numbered. We hope she can go back one more time before they close for the season.
